These can cause loss of life and adverse impacts on civil infrastructures, the environment, and communities. A series of methods and measures have been used to mitigate the effects of these extreme loads. The adopted approaches and methods must enable civil structures to be resilient and sustainable. Therefore, to reduce damage and downtime in addition to protecting life and promoting safety, new resilient structure technologies must be proposed and developed. This special issue book focuses on methods of enhancing the sustainability and resilience of civil infrastructures in the event of extreme loads (e.g., earthquakes). This book contributes proposals of and theoretical, numerical, and experimental research on new and resilient civil structures and their structural performance under extreme loading events. These works will certainly play a significant role in promoting the application of new recoverable structures. Moreover, this book also introduces some case studies discussing the implementation of low-damage structural systems in buildings as well as articles on the development of design philosophies and performance criteria for resilient buildings and new sustainable communities.History of engineering and technologybicsscartificial neural networkcorrosionmined-out regionfinite elementcolumn-top isolationpseudodynamic testseismic performancesustainability predictionshear performancenonlinear time-history analysisshaking table testcivil infrastructuresangle sectionseismic connection detailcyclic loading testextreme loadssudden column removalflowwater supply networksdisplacement response spectrumcold-formed steel composite shear wall buildingmitigationprobabilistic frameworknonlinearityoptimized sectioncorporationGM selectionseismic damagenatural hazardsanalysisspectrum varianceviscous damperGreat East Japan EarthquakeOpenFrescoBrazier flatteningsubstructuredamagemodel-basedtapered cross sectionliquefactionmeasurementNDEsettlementseismic behaviorresiliencehybrid dampernumerical simulationstructural response estimatesprobabilisticenergy-based approximate analysisdamping effectcold-formed steel structuresiltground motionboundary techniqueenergy dissipative devicesreinforced concretecyclic reversal testground improvementsimplified modeling methodbeamgirderintegration algorithmforce-displacement controlreinforced concrete framesmid-riseintermediate columntime-frequency energy distributionsingle-layer reticulated domestructural robustnessprecast slabchloride ingressdynamic modelBrazier effectearthquakesustainabilitycarbonationreplaceable coupling beamrailway constructionconcretevariational methodshear wallprogressive collapseabnormal loadsrecoveryearthquakesresilience-based designdisasterOpenSeesseismic analysisresponse surface methodsubway stationratcheting effectmatching pursuit decompositionhybrid simulationsubway induced vibrationdynamic structural analysisnumerical simulationsstructural sensitivityinflection pointsystem restorationinfinite element boundarysimulation modelMonte Carlo simulationnonlinear responseHistory of engineering and technologyLu Zheng1060470Papalou AngelikiZhou YingYang TonyScCtBLLScCtBLLBOOK9910367565803321Resilience and Sustainability of Civil Infrastructures under Extreme Loads4322710UNINA
